Dyno Rental or Lab

[bryan8392]

Hello all,

I am in need of some testing for electric motors up to 30 HP to measure RPM, torque, voltage, etc. This will just be a one-time testing to prove that the motors perform as stated on the nametag, so I am looking to either rent a dyno or go to a lab to get them tested. Does anyone know where I can get this done?

Thank you

The world is a big place. Are you looking for hints on finding a place or an exact recommendation?

I'll take at face value your need to do this, but I am curious as to why you would need to...is the factory acceptance/certification testing data either unavailable or suspect? Motors not performing as expected?

And unless shipping costs for lab testing or of a dyno for field testing are not a factor, it would be helpful to know at least in general terms where on the earth you are located.

Sorry I should have included more information. I am trying to get certification on some motors and need them tested. I am located in the pacific northwest, but do not necessarily need something local as shipping costs are not an issue. Thanks for the responses.

Any decent university would be able to run a machine that size on a dyno in their machines lab. Some are more commercially-minded than others, so find one that takes on commercial work. If they don't run a electrical machines class and have a teaching lab with this sort of equipment in place then reconsider whether they are a decent university...
